München-Riem

November 1983

 

D-AHLZ (1)

Airbus A300B4-203

025

Hapag-Lloyd

 

D-AHLZ is lined up for take-off on Riem‘s runway 25. This airframe had first visited Riem as SU-AZY with EgyptAir in May 1978. I would later also be noted at least once at Riem during its lease to Condor, on 4 April 1985 (information from Klaus Held’s Riem Chronicle).

 

Note: D-AHLZ (2) was Airbus A310-204 c/n 468 flying with Hapag-Lloyd between March 1988 and May 2005.

 

Information from flickr - thanks to Guido Allieri (slightly adapted):

Airbus A300B4-203 c/n 25 was delivered new to Bavaria Germanair as D-AMAZ in May 1977 for immediate leasing to Egyptair as SU-AZY. It returned to Germany to Hapag Lloyd in November 1982 as D-AHLZ. During the next years it was also shortly leased to Kuwait Airways, Capitol Air, Air Jamaica and Condor. Acquired by PIA Pakistan as AP-BCP in April 1986, the aircraft was lost on 28 September 1992 near Teenpane/Bhatte Dande, Kathmandu, Nepal, when it impacted a moutainside in bad weather (167 fatalities).
